I love finding new recipes and absolutely love when my clients say they want to introduce their kids to new things, like lentils. I was asked to come up with a any side dish of my choosing featuring lentils. This is what I found, and what my #cleanplateclub loved!
It’s pretty easy to make too, which is always an added plus. It’s a fantastic snack, appetizer, or a meal in of itself.
